- Limited to only 500 pieces worldwide, this new collaboration combines modern watchmaking with car making heritage in a stunning 1960s style design.
- First introduced in 1969, the Seiko ‘Speedtimer’ was a major innovation milestone – the world’s first automatic chronograph watch with column wheel and vertical clutch, still featured in high functionality chronographs for accurately measuring elapsed time.
- Also launching in 1969, Nissan Motor Corporation’s ‘Datsun’ was Japan’s leading sports car brand.
- In 1971, the Datsun 240Z car, also known as the Fairlady Z – adorned with Seiko logo sponsorship – won the East African Safari Rally, one of the world’s toughest races.
- The Datsun 240Z parallels the Seiko Speedtimer with its stylish, resilient and reliable high performance.
- This Speedtimer watch features many design elements from the original DATSUN 240Z rally car: the colour scheme, the font from the instrument panels of the vehicle and the DATSUN logo on the caseback, dial and clasp.
- The hard-coated bezel features a tachymeter speed measurement tool.
- Under dual-curved sapphire glass, the sub dials contrast the black dial for legibility with a different finish.
- The black LWG-approved leather strap adds a touch of elegance to a sporty design.
- Powered by the maximum precision in-house 8R48 mechanical chronograph calibre, this movement allows accurate measurement of elapsed time by combining a vertical clutch and a column wheel in a 49.5 mm lug to lug, 42mm diameter case size.
- The 8R watch movement series has been designed by Seiko for maximum precision with 3 key elements:
- 1) The Vertical clutch – eliminates shuddering or jumping of the hands when the start/stop button is pushed, enhancing the chronograph’s accuracy and durability
- 2) The Column wheel – resembles the top of a castle turret, ensures precise control of chronograph operation
- 3) The 3-pointed hammer – ensures that when the re-set pusher is pressed, all hands return to zero instantly, in perfect synchronisation for high durability.
- Prospex is a combination of the words ‘Professional’ and ‘Specifications.’ These timepieces are designed to be practical, reliable and durable within extreme or everyday environments for experts, sports lovers and adventure seekers alike.
- 100m water-resistant watch.
- 2-year manufacturer warranty.
